Description

Dihydrofuranoindole compounds or their derivatives and their applications

[0001] The present invention claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 2024101275857, filed with the Patent Office of China on January 30, 2024, entitled “Dihydrofuranoindole compounds or their derivatives and their applications,” the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] The present invention relates to the field of medicinal chemistry, and in particular to a class of dihydrofuranoindole compounds or derivatives thereof and applications thereof. Background Art

[0003] Uric acid is the final product of purine metabolism in humans and non-human primates, and is formed from xanthine by xanthine oxidase. Humans do not have uricase, so uric acid can only be excreted from the body through the intestines and kidneys. Due to the popularity of the Western diet, excessive purine intake through the diet, massive cell death in a short period of time (tumor lysis syndrome), and inefficient uric acid excretion pathways caused by genetic or environmental factors may all lead to hyperuricemia. A large amount of basic medical and clinical medical data shows that regardless of whether uric acid crystals are formed, high uric acid itself is an independent high-risk factor and is related to the pathogenesis of various diseases in the body (such as diabetic nephropathy, other chronic kidney diseases, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases). The normal range of uric acid in human blood is 3-6.0 mg / dL (180-360 μmol), and the solubility of uric acid is <6.5 mg / dL (37°C, pH 7.0). Exceeding this concentration can lead to crystallization, and lower pH and temperature promote crystallization. Crystallization can deposit in distal joints or other parts of the body (such as blood vessels and kidneys), causing cell damage and inflammation, causing great pain to patients and seriously affecting their quality of life. Hyperuricemia affects 8% of the general population, and gout patients account for 4% of the total population. Among people over 60 years old, over 10% will experience gout attacks.

[0004] Currently, the main drugs used to lower uric acid are as follows: allopurinol or febuxostat are used to inhibit xanthine oxidase, thereby reducing the production of uric acid; benzbromarone is used to interfere with the reabsorption of uric acid in the kidneys, thereby promoting the excretion of uric acid; or for patients with refractory hyperuricemia, exogenous recombinant or modified uricase (even in combination with immunosuppressants) is used to degrade uric acid; or some single-target drugs targeting uric acid transporters, such as Lesinurad, which was approved in the United States in 2015 and withdrawn from the market in 2019, and Dotinurad, which was launched in Japan.

[0005] Existing drugs and treatments have their limitations, and the vast majority of patients with hyperuricemia and gout have huge unmet clinical needs, so there is a need to develop safe and effective new uric acid-lowering drugs. From the perspective of mechanism of action and pharmacokinetics, using a single molecule to simultaneously attack the pathways of uric acid production (xanthine oxidase) and uric acid reabsorption (uric acid transporter URAT1, gene name SLC22A12) has more advantages than strategies that attack each pathway separately. Pfizer has developed a dual XOR / URAT1 inhibitor, the dual-target molecule PF-06743649, but it was stopped in Phase I clinical trials because a small number of patients developed acute kidney injury. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new dual-target uric acid-lowering drug to benefit patients with hyperuricemia and reduce the burden on national medical expenses. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the above problems, the present invention provides a dihydrofuranoindole compound or its derivatives, which has good inhibitory activity on both urate oxidase and urate transporter, is a XOR / URAT1 dual inhibitor, and has a good uric acid-lowering effect.

[0111] In the compounds of the present invention, when any variable (such as R 4 、R 5 If a substituent (e.g., ) occurs more than once in any component, its definition at each occurrence is independent of its definition at every other occurrence. Likewise, combinations of substituents and variables are permissible so long as such combinations result in a stable compound. A line drawn from a substituent into the ring system indicates that the indicated bond may be attached to any substitutable ring atom. If the ring system is polycyclic, this means that such bonds may be attached only to any suitable carbon atom in an adjacent ring. It will be understood that one of ordinary skill in the art can select substituents and substitution patterns in the compounds of the present invention to provide compounds that are chemically stable and readily synthesized from readily available starting materials using techniques in the art and the methods set forth below. If a substituent is itself substituted with more than one group, it will be understood that these groups may be on the same carbon atom or on different carbon atoms so long as the structure is stable.

[0112] As used herein, the term "alkyl" is intended to include both branched and straight-chain saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon groups having a specified number of carbon atoms. For example, the definition of "C1-C6 alkyl" includes groups having 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 carbon atoms in a straight or branched chain.

[0374] Table 1 Structural formula, characterization data and preparation methods of Compounds 1 to 138

[0375] Example 13 Inhibition of xanthine oxidase activity by the compound

[0376] Weigh 2-3 mg of the test compound, including the positive control febuxostat, and dissolve it in DMSO to a 10 mM stock solution. Gradual dilutions were made into 8 concentration gradients (500 uM, 50 uM, 5 uM, 500 nM, 250 nM, 50 nM, 5 nM, 0.5 nM) containing the same concentration of DMSO (5%).

[0377] The xanthine oxidase activity assay kit (MAK078-1KT) was purchased from the official website of Merck. Mouse liver tissue (500 μl / 30 mg) was homogenized with the kit's assay buffer to obtain a tissue homogenate containing mouse xanthine oxidase. The homogenate was centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 10 minutes at 4°C. The supernatant was transferred to a new centrifuge tube and placed on ice until ready to use.

[0378] Add 50ul of tissue homogenate to a 96-well plate, add 2ul of the test compound at the corresponding concentration, and then add 48ul of the mixture containing the other components of the kit, with a total volume of 100ul / well. Incubate at 25°C for 3 minutes, excite at 535nm, and read the excited fluorescence intensity at 587nm (the more superoxide radicals generated in the reaction system due to the oxidation of hypoxanthine and xanthine by xanthine oxidase, the more resorufin will react with 10-acetyl-3,7-dihydroxyphenoxazine in the system, and the higher the excited fluorescence intensity, indicating higher xanthine oxidase activity). At 25°C, read the results kinetically every 3 minutes for 15 minutes. The wells without inhibitor are considered 100% xanthine oxidase activity, and the wells without enzyme are considered zero activity (background). After reading the plate, perform QC to confirm that the 12-minute point is in the linear range. Analyze the inhibition efficiency at the 12-minute point to obtain the IC value of the test compound. 50 .

[0379] The test results are shown in Table 2: The dihydrofuranoindole compounds or their derivatives of the present invention have a strong inhibitory effect on the activity of xanthine oxidase, and the inhibitory activity of some compounds is better than that of the positive drug febuxostat.

[0380] Table 2. Inhibition results of compounds on xanthine oxidase activity

[0381] Example 14 Inhibition of uric acid transporter by the compound

[0382] As in Example 13, concentration gradients of the test compound and the positive control (lesinurad) were prepared.

[0383] All cell culture media were purchased from Invitrogen, and plastics from Corning. Because renal tubular epithelial cells express Urat1 and Glut9, they can be used to assay urate transporter activity. Mouse renal tubular epithelial cells were seeded onto 0.4 μm pore size cell culture transwell membranes and cultured until the cells completely confluently filled the transwell, forming a monolayer. Prior to testing the test compound, the transwell chamber was replaced with DMEM basal medium containing the test compound at the specified concentration and 4.5 mg / dL uric acid. The bottom layer of the multiwell plate was replaced with DMEM basal medium without uric acid. After incubation at 37°C for 60 minutes, 100 μl of medium was removed from the bottom layer of the multiwell plate, and uric acid concentrations were read at 290 nm using a microplate reader. Wells without uric acid served as blank controls, and wells without compound were considered 100% transport. The uric acid concentrations in the wells corresponding to the test compound were compared with those in the wells with 100% transport to determine the inhibition efficiency.

[0384] The results showed that lesinurad at a concentration of 1000 nM had an inhibition rate of 23.63% on uric acid transporter activity, while compound 12 at a concentration of 250 nM had an inhibition rate of 64.27%. This indicates that the compounds of the present invention have strong inhibitory activity against uric acid transporter activity, with their inhibitory activity at a concentration of 250 nM being higher than that of lesinurad at a concentration of 1000 nM.

[0385] Example 15 Inhibition of uric acid transporter by the compound

[0386] In this example, a third party (Beijing Kanglong Chemical Co., Ltd.) was commissioned to use HEK-293 cells (HEK293-hURAT1) that stably overexpress the human urate transporter (protein name URAT1, gene name SLC22A12) as a cell model for studying urate transport to determine the inhibitory activity of compounds against the human urate transporter. Concentration gradients of the test compound and the positive control (lesinurad) were prepared as in Example 13. All cell culture media were purchased from Invitrogen, and plastics were purchased from Corning. C14-labeled uric acid was obtained from VWR, USA. The specific procedures were as follows:

[0387] Cells were pre-plated in 96-well plates. The next day, the culture medium was replaced with culture medium pre-mixed with C14-labeled uric acid and varying concentrations of a positive control or other test compound. After a 5-minute incubation, the culture medium was removed, the cells were lysed with 0.1N NaOH, and the supernatant was read using a Perkin Elmer liquid scintillation counter (Model MicroBeta2). The reading for wells containing C14-labeled uric acid but no compound was considered 100% uric acid transport, while the reading for wells without C14-labeled uric acid was considered background. The inhibitory efficacy of the positive control compound or test compound at varying concentrations on the uric acid transporter was calculated to obtain the IC50.

[0388] The test results are shown in Table 3: The activity of compound 12 in the present invention in inhibiting uric acid transporter is significantly higher than that of the positive control drug lesinurad. It can be seen that the compound of the present invention has good inhibitory activity on uric acid transporter.

[0390] Example 16: Pharmacological Efficacy Test of Compounds in Lowering Uric Acid in the Body

[0391] In this example, Balb / c wild-type adult male mice aged 8-12 weeks provided by Weitonglihua Company were divided into a control group (vehicle) and a treatment group (6 mice per group) to test the efficacy of the compound in reducing uric acid in the body. The specific experimental method is as follows:

[0392] The control group was given 0.5 ml of a 1.2% 2-BP-β-CD (cyclodextrin) solution prepared in water, and the drug-treated group was given 0.5 ml of a solution prepared in water containing 1.2% 2-BP-β-CD (cyclodextrin) and 1.6 mg / ml of the test compound. 7 hours, 15 hours, or 23 hours after administration, 0.5 ml of a mixed solution containing 60 mg / ml potassium oxonate (an inhibitor of uricase) and 6.67 mg / ml hypoxanthine (a substrate of xanthine oxidase) prepared in 0.5% methylcellulose aqueous solution was orally administered to induce hyperuricemia. One hour later, 100 μl of peripheral blood was collected from the inner orbit, and the serum uric acid concentration was determined using the conventional phosphotungstic acid method.

[0393] The results are shown in FIG1 . 8 hours after administration, compound 4, compound 12, and compound 137-7 can effectively reduce the blood uric acid concentration to about half compared with the control group.

To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the following embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
